Beneath the Bombs: Lessons from Living Through the London Blitz

Please join us on Shabbat Parshat Matot-Masei in the Main Sanctuary for a post-Kiddush talk with Bayit Golden Ager Sonia Movsas.

Step back in time and into the heart of wartime London as Rav Steven sits down with our beloved Bayit Golden Ager, Sonia Movsas, for a powerful conversation about her childhood under the bombs of the Blitz.

Sonia brings to life what it meant to grow up in a city under constant threat—how her family found courage, connection, and hope in the face of nightly bombings.

As we grapple with our own fears and heartbreak over the attacks on Israel and the threats from Iran, Sonia’s reflections offer a wellspring of strength. Her memories remind us of the deep resilience of the human spirit—and how even in the darkest moments, light can endure.

Come be inspired by a living link to history, and find perspective and hope for today.
